For whatever reason I can't get this to work? Maybe I'm just a noob but I'd still like some help...

Basically I added the folder from the downloaded zip to my 3ds file in my SD card and when I launch it in homebrew it just acts as a file. What am I missing?

do you have the .xml next to the .3dsx? this is what will show the title selector so you can dump a game.
 
the 3dsx is basically the program. I don't know how you didn't get it in the download...
I'm not sure either. I've downloaded the file about three times now and it's in none of the folders. Is it in a different link? I've downloaded all three things but none of them seem to be it.
 
I don't know how you're opening braindump.7z, are you sure you're using 7-zip? it contains both the .3dsx and .xml to place on your SD card
For what ever reason it's not showing as an extractable file. It has the notepad icon. I'm gonna try to fix that somehow. And I seemed to have opened it by pressing 7zip under the open with option

Oh my god after trying to extract it for the fifth time I finally got it! Thank you soooooo much for your help! I don't think I could've gotten it to work without your help

That feel when ctrtool does absolutely nothing except flash a window for a millisecond and nobody has a tutorial for that.
 
I wonder, why does this fails to dump the header correctly?

I dumped my smash cart with this to make a music hack, but once back in cia, it gave me an error.

I did the exact same procedure with Uncart and it worked.

I presume this might be more oriented to HANS?

braindump make a fake header since *Hax can't access ExHeader.
Can I use this to dump cartridges and make .cias to install on my CFW?

No, use Gateway Launcher or uncart to dump your game cartridges
 
I was disappointed to find out that Braindump 1.0 does not support Pokémon Yellow purchased from the eShop. I was hoping to poke around in the file system of that one but it just freezes on a red screen when run from a 10.6 reiNAND emuNAND using *hax 2.6. I was able to dump Zelda Oracle of Seasons so I know Braindump still works on this configuration, just not for this title. Anyone know why one works and the other doesn't?

Pokémon Yellow is coming with the new 9.6 encryption.
*hax can't start the 9.6+ titles because of that.
